Sometimes, it can be tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions only by looking through specifications. The pic underneath will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the H50 and H55.

To sum up, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Sony H55 to result in more detail having its extra 5MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged H50 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
