Typically, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements only by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the VG-145 and TX200V.

Clearly, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony TX200V to give greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively.
