Normally, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading through specs. The pic here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the A9 II and TX100V.

All in all, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The A9 II with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Sony A9 II will resolve greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The younger A9 II should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
