Normally, it is difficult to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions only by checking out technical specs. The image below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX2F and T99.

As you have seen, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX2F using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Sony T99 will show extra detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger EX2F should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
