Usually, it can be hard to envision the gap in sensor sizes simply by seeing specifications. The pic underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-310 and FZ60.
To sum up, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Panasonic FZ60 to produce greater detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged TG-310 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
