Usually, it is very difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizing merely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph below will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the TL240 and fp L.

As you can see, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The TL240 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Sigma fp L will render extra detail having an extra 47 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older TL240 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
