Generally, it is very tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reviewing technical specs. The photograph below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the E-330 and PL120.

As you have seen, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-330 due to its bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh simpler and the Samsung PL120 will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs more aggressively. The older E-330 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
