All in all, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The A6000 with its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Sony A6000 will show greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older A6000 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
