Usually, its difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizing only by seeing a spec sheet. The visual below might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M320 and W330.

Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M320 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh trickier and the Sony W330 will produce more detail utilizing its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The older M320 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
