Sometimes, its difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizing merely by going through a spec sheet. The visual here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z450 and TG-610.
As you can see, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You should expect the Olympus TG-610 to produce more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The older EX-Z450 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
