Generally, it is very difficult to picture the difference in sensor dimensions purely by looking through specs. The image below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TL220 and TX200V.

As you can plainly see, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You can expect to see the Sony TX200V to provide you with more detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged TL220 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
