Quite often, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing purely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the SZ-11 and A6600.

Clearly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SZ-11 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony A6600 will give you extra detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The older SZ-11 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
