Generally, it is very hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the TL205 and A6100.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The TL205 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony A6100 will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older TL205 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
