Sometimes, it can be hard to visualise the difference between sensor measurements just by reviewing technical specs. The visual here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the G6 and NEX-C3.

As you can tell, each of the cameras come with the identical megapixels albeit not the same sensor measurements. The G6 uses the tinier sensor which will make achieving shallow DOF tougher. The younger G6 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
