Usually, it is very difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizing purely by seeing specifications. The photograph here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the CL80 and W510.

Plainly, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should anticipate the Samsung CL80 to produce more detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older CL80 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
