In many cases, it's difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizes merely by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here will help offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-3010 and W710.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony W710 to resolve extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FE-3010 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
