Typically, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes just by reviewing specs. The image underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 5010 and VG-110.

All in all, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You can expect the Olympus 5010 to offer extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged 5010 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
