Sony W310 vs Sony W570 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it is hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizes merely by going through a spec sheet. The image below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the W310 and W570.
As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should expect the Sony W570 to produce more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged W310 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
