Clearly, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Mini with its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Olympus VG-110 will give you greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively.
