More often than not, it is very difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizes just by reviewing technical specs. The picture below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC and A9.
As you can tell, both of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony A9 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC is going to be behind in sensor tech.
