Sony A6300 vs Sony A6600 Sensor Comparison
Usually, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions merely by looking at technical specs. The pic below should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the A6300 and A6600.
As you have seen, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the exact same megapixels and you should expect similar quality of photographs although you should always take the production date of the products into consideration. The more aged A6300 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
