Quite often, it is very difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizing merely by going through a spec sheet. The graphic here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SL202 and W610.

Clearly, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony W610 to provide greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The older SL202 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
