Usually, it is tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizes only by checking technical specs. The picture below will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-25 and A9 II.

As you have seen, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The FE-25 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony A9 II will give extra detail due to its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
