Sometimes, it's hard to envision the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the GF6 and A6000.

Clearly, both of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The GF6 due to its smaller sensor will make getting bokeh trickier and the Sony A6000 will provide greater detail having its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older GF6 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
