Quite often, its tough to see the difference between sensor sizing just by reading through technical specs. The graphic below will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the V-Lux 2 and L610.

As you have seen, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon L610 to resolve more detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older V-Lux 2 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
