As you can see, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TG-610 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the YI M1 will give more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The older TG-610 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
