All in all, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony A6500 to result in more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older NX2000 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
