Normally, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by checking out specifications. The image here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the JX300 and HX80.

To sum up, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Sony HX80 to produce more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged JX300 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
