As you can tell, both cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 1D MII because of its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Olympus TG-810 will give more detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older 1D MII is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
