More often than not, its difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements just by reading specifications. The graphic here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SH100 and A6300.

To sum up, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SH100 featuring a tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Sony A6300 will offer you extra detail due to its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The older SH100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
