Generally, it is tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading specs. The pic underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-310 and WX150.
All in all, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Sony WX150 to offer more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged TG-310 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
