Normally, it is very hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing just by reading through technical specs. The graphic here will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the E-3 and W370.

As you can tell, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-3 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony W370 will resolve extra detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The older E-3 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
