Oftentimes, it is difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading through specifications. The pic here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-420 and TX200V.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-420 because of its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Sony TX200V will give more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged E-420 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
