As you can tell, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 6020 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Sony A7c will give greater detail having its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged 6020 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
