Often, it is difficult to picture the difference between sensor measurements just by checking a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SD14 and A6500.

Clearly, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You should count on the Sony A6500 to give you extra detail using its extra 19 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures more aggressively. The older SD14 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
