Sometimes, it's hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing purely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the VH-410 and TX200V.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You should expect the Sony TX200V to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more recent VH-410 should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
