As you have seen, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The TL240 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Sony A77 II will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged TL240 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
