Quite often, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by seeing specs. The image here might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-G1 and TX55.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sony TX55 to produce more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged EX-G1 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
