Sometimes, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading through a spec sheet. The picture here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the TF1 and ZV-1.
Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The TF1 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony ZV-1 will give you extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged TF1 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
