Sometimes, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements only by reading through specs. The visual here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the F70EXR and TG-310.

As you can plainly see, both cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The F70EXR using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus TG-310 will give you greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The older F70EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
