Often, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements just by viewing technical specs. The visual underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FP8 and TX200V.

As you have seen, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should expect to see the Sony TX200V to provide you with greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The older FP8 will be behind in sensor innovation.
