The M341 was introduced 3 years prior to the TX20 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before delving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a short introduction of how the M341 grades vs the TX20 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

In many cases, it is very difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizing just by going over specifications. The photograph below will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the M341 and TX20.

Plainly, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony TX20 to deliver greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The older M341 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
