In many cases, its tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizing purely by researching specs. The visual below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the TX100V and WX220.
All in all, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Sony WX220 to provide you with more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos more aggressively. The older TX100V will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
