Normally, it is difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes only by looking at a spec sheet. The picture here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the S2000 and TX66.

As you can see, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony TX66 to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged S2000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
