Plainly, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Sony W330 to provide extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern EX-Z16 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
