Typically, it is very hard to picture the difference in sensor dimensions merely by looking through technical specs. The pic underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the K110D and A9 II.

As you have seen, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The K110D having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A9 II will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 18 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged K110D will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
