In many cases, it's difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual here might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 450D and W650.

As you can see, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 450D featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony W650 will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images far more aggressively. The older 450D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
