Often, it's hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements merely by checking out a spec sheet. The visual underneath should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the NX1000 and A6700.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Sony A6700 to provide greater detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older NX1000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
