Quite often, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizing just by reading specifications. The visual below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the M575 and TG-870.

To sum up, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Olympus TG-870 to offer you greater detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older M575 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
