To sum up, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The W710 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony ZV-1 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged W710 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
