More often than not, its hard to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions just by seeing a spec sheet. The pic here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-5010 and TG-810.
As you can see, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Olympus TG-810 to show extra detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged FE-5010 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
