As you can tell, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The A6600 featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Sony A6600 will show extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The fresher A6600 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
