Often, it is hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements purely by checking a spec sheet. The visual here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the PEN-F and A900.

As you can see, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The PEN-F because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony A900 will give you more detail as a result of its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger PEN-F provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
