Generally, it is difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the DP2s and WX70.

As you can see, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The DP2s featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony WX70 will show greater detail due to its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older DP2s will be behind in sensor innovation.
