Normally, it is very hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes only by checking out a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Touch and TX7.

As you can see, both of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Touch using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Kodak Touch will provide more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The newer Touch provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
