Quite often, it can be tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizes purely by reviewing specifications. The image below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-S5 and TL205.

Plainly, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Samsung TL205 to deliver extra detail due to its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged EX-S5 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
