Plainly, the two cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The NX2000 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh trickier and the Sony A9 II will show extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged NX2000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
