More often than not, it is tough to see the difference in sensor measurements just by going through a spec sheet. The visual underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1000pj and H55.

As you can see, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony H55 to produce extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older S1000pj will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
