More often than not, it is very hard to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions merely by going through technical specs. The image below will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the fp and A6300.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The fp using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Sigma fp will show extra detail using its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more modern fp should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
