Clearly, each of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The A6300 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony A6300 will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more recent A6300 will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
