As you can plainly see, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The ZS100 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony A6600 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older ZS100 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
