Normally, it is difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing only by reading specifications. The photograph here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-310 and LX7.
Plainly, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The TG-310 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Olympus TG-310 will offer greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The older TG-310 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
