To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The NEX-6 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony NEX-6 will provide extra detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The fresher NEX-6 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
