Generally, it is tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements just by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A2200 and HX50V.
As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony HX50V to result in extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The older A2200 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
