Second sample is better than first. Do you have third sample?

This one is from my E-PM2 & I think it's better. Is that simply because the Panasonic 14mm f2.5 lens is better than the Sony kit lens on the other camera? Or because the Sony image is considerably larger on screen at 100%? I guess at the end of the day it probably doesn't matter. While I really enjoy the way the A6000 feels in the hand, I'm just not getting the wow factor improvement that I expected on the images so it probably makes more sense to return it for now.

Thanks for all the help, insight & suggestions.

There seems nothing with your gear. And yes downsampling one photo but not the other is not an apples-to-apples comparison. I wouldn't worry so much about small differences in JPEG sharpness. If you are shooting a paid shoot use the best gear you have and use RAW and tweak it to your satisfaction. Else stop worrying so much that your kit lens might not be the best lens ever. Of course it's not; it's a compromise lens... that said it's capable of some really great photos anyway. https://www.flickr.com/groups/2122756@N21/pool/

And APS-C and MFT, even at relatively slow apertures, is capable of DOF effects if you are close enough to the subject. http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html
