Typically, it is very tough to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions only by checking technical specs. The pic here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 5010 and H200.

As you have seen, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Sony H200 to give extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged 5010 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
