Often, it is hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements only by reading a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the S200EXR and S9900.

Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S200EXR due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Nikon S9900 will offer you extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older S200EXR is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
