Sometimes, it is tough to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions purely by viewing a spec sheet. The image underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the E-M10 III and TG-6.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-M10 III using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Olympus E-M10 III will provide you with greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged E-M10 III will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
