Often, it is very tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions just by seeing a spec sheet. The pic here will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the S7000 and TX100V.

Clearly, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions and the same exact resolution therefore you should expect comparable quality of photos although you should factor the production date of the cameras into account. The more recent S7000 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
