Normally, it is very difficult to see the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by seeing specifications. The image underneath will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SD1 and TX200V.

To sum up, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SD1 featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony TX200V will provide extra detail due to its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged SD1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
