Usually, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the DV150F and QX30.

Greater resolution will let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The older DV150F is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
