Often, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing purely by going through specifications. The photograph here should give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S2000 and W650.

Plainly, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sony W650 to produce greater detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The older S2000 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
