Generally, it is hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The graphic here may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the TL205 and W560.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sony W560 to result in greater detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The older TL205 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
