As you can tell, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The A6600 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony A6600 will resolve more detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The newer A6600 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
