Sometimes, its difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes only by looking through specifications. The pic here should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the W320 and W650.

Plainly, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Sony W650 to render extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged W320 will be behind in sensor innovation.
