Typically, its tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizing just by reading through specs. The visual below might give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the D10 and TG-310.
All in all, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Olympus TG-310 to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The older D10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
