Plainly, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony A9 II to provide greater detail utilizing its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged M-Monochrom will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
