Generally, it is very hard to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions only by looking through technical specs. The image here will help offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the TL240 and A6400.

As you can tell, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The TL240 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony A6400 will provide you with more detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged TL240 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
