More often than not, its hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the ST6500 and WX220.

Clearly, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You should count on the Sony WX220 to resolve more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older ST6500 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
