Sometimes, it is tough to envision the gap in sensor sizing just by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the NX20 and A77 II.

As you can see, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Sony A77 II to result in more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The older NX20 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
