Quite often, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing merely by looking through specs. The photograph here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the M340 and TX66.

As you can plainly see, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sony TX66 to render more detail due to its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The older M340 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
