More often than not, it is hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the G6 and HX350.

As you can see, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The G6 due to its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Sony HX350 will give you more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older G6 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
