Oftentimes, its hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions purely by checking specifications. The image below may give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-310 and GM1.
To sum up, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The TG-310 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Panasonic GM1 will give you more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged TG-310 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
