Generally, it can be tough to visualize the difference between sensor measurements purely by going over a spec sheet. The graphic below should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M341 and W550.

As you can see, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You can expect the Sony W550 to deliver more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older M341 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
