Usually, its difficult to see the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through specifications. The graphic here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-G1 and HX350.

To sum up, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Sony HX350 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The older EX-G1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
