As you can see, both of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The TG-850 iHS due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Olympus TG-850 iHS will show greater detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots much more aggressively. The younger TG-850 iHS provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
