Plainly, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The A9 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony A9 will produce extra detail because of its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern A9 should have an edge in sensor tech.
