All in all, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The TL240 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony ZV-1 will resolve more detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged TL240 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
