Oftentimes, it is difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the ST65 and A6000.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The ST65 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Sony A6000 will offer you extra detail due to its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older ST65 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
