More often than not, it is very tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizes simply by going through a spec sheet. The picture below may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the V-Lux 20 and SP-620 UZ.

As you can see, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Olympus SP-620 UZ to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 20 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
