As you can tell, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The T110 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Sony A65 will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older T110 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
