To sum up, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The A6300 having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony A6300 will deliver extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The younger A6300 provides an edge in sensor technology.
