As you can tell, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should expect to see the Olympus TG-6 to provide extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older L100 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
