Generally, it is hard to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reading through technical specs. The image underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the E-330 and TG-630 iHS.
As you can tell, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-330 because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Olympus TG-630 iHS will give you greater detail as a result of its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged E-330 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
