Oftentimes, its tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes merely by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FZ150 and HX350.

Clearly, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony HX350 to give you greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged FZ150 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
