Sometimes, it's hard to picture the difference in sensor dimensions purely by looking through specifications. The picture here should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the G700SE and HX100V.

Plainly, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Sony HX100V to render greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged G700SE will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
