In many cases, it's tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the WG-10 and A99 II.

As you can see, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The WG-10 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony A99 II will deliver more detail with its extra 28 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged WG-10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
