Generally, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading specs. The visual here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the NEX-F3 and A6700.

All in all, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should expect the Sony A6700 to offer greater detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older NEX-F3 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
