As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The CL5 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Sony W810 will provide greater detail with its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged CL5 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
