Typically, it's hard to picture the gap between sensor sizing simply by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-A7 and M9.

As you can see, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-A7 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Fujifilm X-A7 will give more detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-A7 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
