Generally, its tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes purely by seeing technical specs. The image underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-6 and WX350.
As you can tell, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony WX350 to produce greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more recent TG-6 provides an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
