All in all, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Nikon S9900 to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX220 HS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
