Oftentimes, it is hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing just by reading a spec sheet. The graphic below should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the A3200 IS and W710.

Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The older A3200 IS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
