Quite often, it is very difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements purely by researching specifications. The visual underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 6000 and A380.
Plainly, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 6000 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Sony A380 will result in greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures far more aggressively.
