Quite often, its difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizes just by researching a spec sheet. The image underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the ELPH 330 HS and TG-3.

Clearly, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You should count on the Olympus TG-3 to result in greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged ELPH 330 HS will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
