Oftentimes, it's tough to see the difference in sensor sizing purely by researching technical specs. The graphic below will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the S1200pj and VG-120.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the exact same megapixels therefore you should expect comparable quality of images though you should really factor the release date of the cameras into account. The younger S1200pj is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
