Normally, its hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specifications. The picture underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the ST600 and A6100.

Plainly, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The ST600 due to its tinier sensor will make getting bokeh more challenging and the Sony A6100 will offer more detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged ST600 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
