Oftentimes, it can be hard to see the difference in sensor sizing only by checking out specifications. The visual below should provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-310 and FH7.
To sum up, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Panasonic FH7 to show greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The older TG-310 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
