Quite often, it is difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizing simply by viewing specifications. The photograph here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 7010 and TG-310.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Olympus TG-310 to render greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older 7010 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
