Sometimes, it is very hard to see the gap in sensor sizing purely by researching specifications. The graphic below may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB35F and A9 II.

To sum up, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The WB35F with its smaller sensor will make getting bokeh trickier and the Sony A9 II will render more detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older WB35F will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
