Normally, its difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the SX220 HS and W370.

As you can see, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony W370 to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The younger SX220 HS will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
