More often than not, it is tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizes just by going through technical specs. The image underneath will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the A6400 and WX10.

As you can tell, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The A6400 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Sony A6400 will produce more detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a little more aggressively. The more modern A6400 provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
