Typically, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions just by viewing technical specs. The pic below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the HZ10W and H300.

As you have seen, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different resolution. You can expect to see the Sony H300 to render extra detail having an extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged HZ10W will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
