To sum up, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You can expect the Sony W810 to give you extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged ST100 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
