Sometimes, it's difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading a spec sheet. The image underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC and A6000.
Clearly, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Sony A6000 will offer extra detail utilizing its extra 14MP.
