Often, its tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions only by checking out specifications. The image underneath will give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the FH27 and H200.

To sum up, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should anticipate the Sony H200 to provide more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FH27 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
