Quite often, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the A7 and W310.

Clearly, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The A7 using its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Sony A7 will offer greater detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The newer A7 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
