More often than not, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes just by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the P330 and TG-6.
Clearly, both of these cameras feature the identical megapixels albeit not the same sensor sizes. The P330 offers the bigger sensor which should make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult. The more aged P330 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
