Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Sony W710 to deliver greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged S9100 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
