Oftentimes, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions just by checking out specs. The image underneath will provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 6000 and A7S III.

All in all, each of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 6000 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony A7S III will provide extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged 6000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
