Normally, it can be difficult to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions only by reviewing specifications. The picture here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-3010 and TG-810.

To sum up, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Olympus TG-810 to deliver extra detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged FE-3010 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
