More often than not, it's difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements just by going through specifications. The graphic below should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the WB750 and A900.

Plainly, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB750 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony A900 will provide more detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more recent WB750 provides an edge in sensor innovation.
