Quite often, it is very tough to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reading specifications. The pic here will help provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the ZS35 and A6600.

To sum up, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The ZS35 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Sony A6600 will deliver greater detail having its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged ZS35 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
