As you have seen, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should anticipate the Sony TF1 to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SX130 IS is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
