Normally, it is difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements just by researching specifications. The visual here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the DP2s and W830.

Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The DP2s with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony W830 will provide you with greater detail using its extra 15MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older DP2s will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
