Often, it's difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements just by going through a spec sheet. The photograph here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the VG-110 and A200.

As you can see, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The VG-110 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Olympus VG-110 will produce more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger VG-110 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
