Usually, it can be hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizing purely by looking at specifications. The visual underneath may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX240 HS and TL240.

To sum up, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Samsung TL240 to resolve greater detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The younger SX240 HS is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
