Oftentimes, its difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizing just by reading a spec sheet. The visual here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the H50 and W370.

Clearly, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony W370 to offer you greater detail due to its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The older H50 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
