Often, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing specifications. The graphic here may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the A810 and WB700.

To sum up, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should expect the Canon A810 to produce extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The newer A810 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
