To sum up, the two cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Mini featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Olympus VG-120 will provide extra detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively.
