Clearly, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The C140 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Olympus TG-3 will offer you more detail due to its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged C140 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
