In many cases, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading through specifications. The visual below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC and A77 II.
To sum up, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony A77 II will give you extra detail because of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The older GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
