Clearly, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The TL225 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the YI M1 will produce more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older TL225 will be behind in sensor tech.
