Oftentimes, it's hard to see the contrast between sensor sizes simply by going over a spec sheet. The picture below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-S5 and TL240.

Clearly, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung TL240 to offer you greater detail because of its extra 5MP.
