As you have seen, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The A6300 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony A6300 will render more detail due to its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images more aggressively. The older A6300 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
