Oftentimes, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements simply by looking at a spec sheet. The visual underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the VG-110 and DV300F.

Clearly, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Samsung DV300F to resolve more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older VG-110 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
