Often, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading through a spec sheet. The picture here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S95 and TG-3.

Clearly, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S95 due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Olympus TG-3 will resolve extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged S95 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
