All in all, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Olympus VG-145 to render more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more modern VG-145 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
