Typically, it can be difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes just by looking at specifications. The pic below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX11 and A77 II.

To sum up, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sony A77 II to resolve more detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged NX11 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
