As you have seen, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Sony W320 to render more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The younger VG-110 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
