Plainly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The E-M5 II featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A9 II will show more detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged E-M5 II will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
