Normally, it is tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes merely by looking at a spec sheet. The picture below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-45 and A6600.

Clearly, the two cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FE-45 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A6600 will give greater detail having an extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged FE-45 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
