Typically, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor measurements merely by going through specifications. The visual here might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M381 and W830.

Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony W830 to show extra detail with its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The older M381 will be behind in sensor tech.
