Sometimes, it's difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing technical specs. The pic here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the T99 and TX30.

As you have seen, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony TX30 to render more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged T99 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
