Often, it is very hard to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by viewing specifications. The picture below should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the P70 and H200.

To sum up, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony H200 to provide you with greater detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged P70 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
