Normally, its hard to picture the contrast between sensor measurements simply by looking at specifications. The graphic underneath may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the TX1 and TX20.

To sum up, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The TX1 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Sony TX20 will give you more detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older TX1 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
