Often, it is hard to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements only by checking specifications. The visual below may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-850 iHS and L10.

To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The TG-850 iHS using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Olympus TG-850 iHS will resolve greater detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more modern TG-850 iHS should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
