Normally, it is tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions only by going over specifications. The pic underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the S3200 and HX30V.

To sum up, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony HX30V to deliver extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged S3200 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
