Usually, it is very tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reviewing specifications. The image here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the P80 and W60.

Plainly, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Pentax P80 to offer extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots much more aggressively.
