Sometimes, it is difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by looking at technical specs. The image below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the A6700 and TX30.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The A6700 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony A6700 will resolve extra detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more modern A6700 should have an edge in sensor technology.
