Oftentimes, it can be tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading through specs. The graphic below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the HX100V and HX350.

All in all, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Sony HX350 to give you more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older HX100V is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
