Sometimes, it is very tough to see the gap in sensor sizing only by checking out a spec sheet. The visual here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-310 and DP1.
As you can see, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TG-310 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Olympus TG-310 will show extra detail having an extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots much more aggressively. The younger TG-310 is going to have an advantage in sensor tech.
