Plainly, each of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The D1H using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Olympus TG-4 will deliver more detail using its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged D1H is going to be behind in sensor tech.
