As you have seen, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SD14 using its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh harder and the Sony A9 will result in greater detail with its extra 19MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The older SD14 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
