Quite often, it's tough to see the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the A2400 IS and TG-3.
Clearly, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions and the same megapixels therefore you should expect similar quality of images however you really should consider the release date  of the products into consideration. The more aged A2400 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
