Oftentimes, it's tough to see the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading through specifications. The pic underneath might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 7030 and W830.
Plainly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Sony W830 to give you greater detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged 7030 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
