Typically, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by viewing specifications. The image underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-310 and G700SE.
To sum up, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Olympus TG-310 to result in extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots way more aggressively.
