Quite often, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading through technical specs. The visual here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the M580 and W650.

As you can tell, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You can count on the Sony W650 to give more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older M580 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
