Generally, its hard to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing just by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the NEX-F3 and H50.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The NEX-F3 using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony NEX-F3 will produce more detail because of its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The younger NEX-F3 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
