Generally, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizes only by going over technical specs. The image underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S200 and HX350.

As you can tell, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Sony HX350 to deliver extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-S200 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
