As you can tell, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony W320 to resolve extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
