All in all, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The A6600 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony A6600 will give greater detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more recent A6600 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
