More often than not, it is very hard to envision the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading specs. The photograph here should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the VS20 and G700SE.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Pentax VS20 to offer extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The younger VS20 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
