Sometimes, it is very tough to see the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through specs. The visual below may provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the VS20 and WB750.
As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Pentax VS20 to show greater detail due to its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a bit more aggressively.
