Oftentimes, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing simply by going through a spec sheet. The visual underneath should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the TL350 and RX1R.

Clearly, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The TL350 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Sony RX1R will provide more detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The older TL350 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
