Sometimes, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing specifications. The image underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the TL500 and fp L.

To sum up, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The TL500 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sigma fp L will offer extra detail having its extra 51MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged TL500 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
