As you can plainly see, the two cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The A6300 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony A6300 will give greater detail because of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The older A6300 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
