Generally, its tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions simply by viewing specs. The pic underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-870 and H200.
All in all, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony H200 to provide you with greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The newer TG-870 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
