Normally, it is tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizes simply by checking out technical specs. The pic here will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the 6010 and TG-610.
As you can tell, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different MP. You should count on the Olympus TG-610 to show more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged 6010 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
