Quite often, it can be difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions just by reviewing technical specs. The picture below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX210 and A6700.

As you can tell, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Sony A6700 to offer more detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged NX210 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
