Generally, its tough to imagine the gap in sensor measurements simply by researching a spec sheet. The graphic here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-610 and FZ200.
Clearly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can expect the Olympus TG-610 to render greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The older TG-610 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
