More often than not, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements only by reading specs. The photograph underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the C and H70.

All in all, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The C featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Sony H70 will offer more detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more modern C is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
