Quite often, it can be difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading through technical specs. The image here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-5010 and H200.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should expect to see the Sony H200 to resolve greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FE-5010 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
