Normally, its difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizing just by looking through specifications. The visual here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the G7 and HX350.

Plainly, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The G7 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Sony HX350 will render more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older G7 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
