Generally, it is very hard to picture the contrast between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z29 and W830.

As you can see, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z29 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Sony W830 will give you extra detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older EX-Z29 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
