Normally, its tough to envision the gap in sensor dimensions merely by seeing specifications. The image underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-P2 and TG-2 iHS.

Plainly, both cameras have got the exact same megapixels albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The E-P2 uses the bigger sensor which is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult. The more aged E-P2 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
