In many cases, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by going over technical specs. The photograph below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-3 and T110.

As you have seen, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The E-3 featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony T110 will offer more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older E-3 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
