In many cases, it is very tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements merely by checking out technical specs. The graphic here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX2000 and A9.

As you have seen, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX2000 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Sony A9 will show greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The older NX2000 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
