More often than not, its difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes only by researching technical specs. The pic below might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the TL240 and WX70.
As you have seen, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony WX70 to render extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos more aggressively. The more aged TL240 will be behind in sensor innovation.
