Oftentimes, it's difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizing just by going over a spec sheet. The visual here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the S4300 and H200.

Clearly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony H200 to deliver greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics far more aggressively. The older S4300 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
