More often than not, it is tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading through technical specs. The visual below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-FH100 and W710.

As you can tell, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should anticipate the Sony W710 to give you more detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-FH100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
