Samsung ST100 vs Sony H200 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specs. The image underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the ST100 and H200.

All in all, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sony H200 to offer more detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged ST100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
