Normally, it is tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizes just by checking out technical specs. The picture here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX2F and A900.

As you have seen, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX2F because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony A900 will show extra detail due to its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The fresher EX2F should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
