The E70 was manufactured 4 years before the W610 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Typically, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing purely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph here may give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the E70 and W610.

Clearly, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Sony W610 to offer you more detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older E70 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
