Often, it can be difficult to imagine the gap in sensor measurements purely by going through specifications. The graphic here may provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the CL5 and W620.

To sum up, both of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The CL5 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Sony W620 will show greater detail using its extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older CL5 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
