Oftentimes, it is tough to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions only by going through technical specs. The picture underneath might give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-H20G and A7.

As you can tell, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-H20G having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony A7 will produce extra detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-H20G will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
