Sometimes, it can be hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reviewing specifications. The pic below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FH22 and HX50V.

To sum up, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Sony HX50V to offer you extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FH22 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
