Normally, it's hard to see the contrast in sensor measurements simply by viewing specifications. The photograph here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Touch and TL205.

To sum up, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Touch with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Kodak Touch will result in extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more modern Touch is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
