Typically, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The pic underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the W220 and W730.

As you can see, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony W730 to offer you more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged W220 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
