Quite often, it is difficult to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by checking out a spec sheet. The picture underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the P7700 and SZ-11.

As you can see, the two cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The P7700 having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Olympus SZ-11 will produce greater detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The younger P7700 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
