To sum up, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Samsung TL205 to give greater detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older M340 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
