Quite often, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing just by going over a spec sheet. The visual underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-410 and TX55.

Clearly, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-410 due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony TX55 will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older E-410 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
