Normally, it's tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions purely by going over specifications. The pic here might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the V-Lux 2 and HX9V.

Plainly, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony HX9V to offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 2 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
