Clearly, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The A6600 with its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony A6600 will render extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger A6600 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
