Typically, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes only by going over technical specs. The image underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the TS2 and HX400V.

As you have seen, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Sony HX400V to offer greater detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged TS2 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
