Olympus TG-310 vs Panasonic FH10 Sensor Comparison

Often, it can be tough to see the gap between sensor measurements simply by looking at specifications. The photograph here will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-310 and FH10.

To sum up, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Panasonic FH10 to give more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older TG-310 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
