As you can see, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 9000 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony A6500 will render extra detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images way more aggressively. The older 9000 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
