More often than not, it's hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching specifications. The visual below might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A6400 and ZV-E1.

To sum up, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The A6400 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony A6400 will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The older A6400 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
