Oftentimes, its difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements just by going through specifications. The visual below will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FS7 and W510.

Plainly, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The FS7 using its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh harder and the Sony W510 will provide greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The older FS7 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
