Sometimes, its hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reviewing specs. The graphic below may give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-S5 and TX200V.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Sony TX200V to offer you greater detail having its extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older EX-S5 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
