Normally, it's tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements merely by checking a spec sheet. The visual underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the A900 and T99.

Clearly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A900 with its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony A900 will resolve more detail because of its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The older A900 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
