Sometimes, it can be hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizes only by looking at a spec sheet. The image below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-47 and VR-340.

Clearly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can anticipate the Olympus VR-340 to resolve extra detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged FE-47 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
