Plainly, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should count on the Sony H200 to show more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots much more aggressively. The fresher H200 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
