More often than not, its difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements only by looking at specifications. The visual below might provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the WB700 and WX220.

Plainly, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sony WX220 to resolve extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older WB700 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
