Often, it can be tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements only by looking through a spec sheet. The visual below will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z29 and WX220.

As you can see, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z29 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony WX220 will render more detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-Z29 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
