Normally, it's hard to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements just by looking at technical specs. The graphic here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the M320 and W380.

As you have seen, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M320 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony W380 will resolve more detail using its extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots more aggressively. The older M320 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
