Usually, its tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizing merely by looking through specs. The photograph below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the V-Lux 40 and W300.

All in all, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon W300 to result in more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older V-Lux 40 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
