Sony HX300 has a
20.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.16 x 4.62 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Sony H50 has a
9.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Sony HX300's sensor provides 11MP more than Sony H50's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the HX300 and H50 sensor size comparison.
Sony HX300 and Sony H50 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
