Quite often, it is tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizing purely by looking at specs. The graphic here should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the A900 and L120.

All in all, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon A900 to give greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images much more aggressively. The younger A900 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
