Typically, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking specs. The image underneath may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the TS25 and WX500.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony WX500 to give more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged TS25 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
