The TG-310 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Olympus TG-310 will offer extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged TG-310 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
