Typically, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by going over technical specs. The pic here will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the SL820 and TX200V.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Sony TX200V to offer more detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged SL820 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
