To sum up, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The A9 II using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony A9 II will show more detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The fresher A9 II should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
