All in all, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The TG-850 iHS because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Olympus TG-850 iHS will provide more detail utilizing its extra 13MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern TG-850 iHS should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
