In many cases, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizes merely by researching a spec sheet. The pic below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the S220 and TX100V.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony TX100V to result in extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S220 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
