More often than not, its tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizes only by going through specifications. The image underneath will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-870 and W810.
To sum up, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Sony W810 to provide more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more recent TG-870 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
