As you can tell, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Olympus TG-830 iHS to give extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged S8100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
