Generally, it can be difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizes merely by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the S1800 and SP-620 UZ.

As you can see, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Olympus SP-620 UZ to resolve more detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S1800 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
