Sometimes, it's tough to picture the gap in sensor sizes simply by looking through a spec sheet. The picture below might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-H20G and HX99.

The EX-H20G due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony HX99 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged EX-H20G will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
