Sometimes, it is tough to see the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reading through a spec sheet. The image underneath might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the X70 and TL240.

As you can see, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Samsung TL240 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged X70 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
