In many cases, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing simply by going through technical specs. The visual here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the A9 II and H50.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The A9 II having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony A9 II will provide more detail because of its extra 15 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The newer A9 II provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
