Typically, it's difficult to see the difference in sensor dimensions only by going through a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S9100 and TG-610.

As you can see, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Olympus TG-610 to show greater detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent S9100 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
