Usually, it is very tough to see the gap in sensor measurements only by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the WB30F and TX200V.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony TX200V to provide greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots much more aggressively. The younger WB30F will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
