As you can see, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The TG-310 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Olympus TG-310 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The younger TG-310 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
