Generally, it is difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements purely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the S6400 and TX5.

As you can see, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S6400 because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Nikon S6400 will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more recent S6400 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
