Pixii Max has a
24.5MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Sony A9 has a
24.0MP Full frame (35.6 x 23.8 mm ) sized Stacked BSI-CMOS sensor and features BIONZ X processor.
Another difference between these two cameras is that Pixii Max's sensor lacks anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.
Below you can see the Max (A3410) and A9 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Pixii Max and Sony A9 Cameras
Pixii Max and Sony A9 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Pixii Max and Sony A9 sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, Max (A3410) has scored 93, 1 points higher than A9.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Pixii Max
or the
Sony A9 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
