To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Olympus SZ-31MR iHS to produce extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged Z950 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
