Typically, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizing merely by researching specifications. The visual here should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the S6000 and HX7V.

Plainly, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony HX7V to result in more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The older S6000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
