Quite often, it is difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizing only by seeing specifications. The photograph here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-3 and A6400.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The TG-3 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A6400 will show more detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older TG-3 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
