As you have seen, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should expect the Olympus TG-830 iHS to deliver more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more recent SX510 HS provides a benefit in sensor technology.
