Generally, it is very difficult to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions simply by reading through technical specs. The image below should provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the FP7 and W810.

As you can tell, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Sony W810 to give greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged FP7 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
