Normally, it is difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements only by checking out technical specs. The photograph here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-S12 and VR-330.

As you can tell, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Olympus VR-330 to provide more detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-S12 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
