As you can see, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sony HX200V to render greater detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The fresher HX200V is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
