Plainly, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The G95 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony A9 will deliver extra detail because of its extra 3.7 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more recent G95 provides a benefit in sensor technology.
