Quite often, its hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizing only by reading through technical specs. The photograph here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the HX10V and QX30.

As you can tell, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony QX30 to give you greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos way more aggressively. The older HX10V is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
