Typically, it can be difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking technical specs. The pic underneath will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the L610 and TG-810.
As you can tell, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon L610 to give you more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The younger L610 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
