Generally, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions only by going through specs. The image below may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S1800 and HX350.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Sony HX350 to show more detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S1800 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
