In many cases, it is hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions only by checking a spec sheet. The picture here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the A900 and WX220.

As you can see, the two cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The A900 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Sony A900 will give greater detail using its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged A900 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
