Plainly, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TL350 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony RX10 III will show more detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older TL350 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
