The A6600 was manufactured 4 years later than the RX10 II and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Sony A6600 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony RX10 II being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go in to a thorough comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the A6600 matches up versus the RX10 II in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Quite often, its difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizing merely by seeing technical specs. The photograph here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the A6600 and RX10 II.

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.
