Usually, it is very difficult to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The picture below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the C135 and HX50V.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Sony HX50V to offer extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged C135 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
