Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Sony W830 to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The older EX-Z800 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
