Oftentimes, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by reviewing technical specs. The image underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-630 iHS and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.
As you have seen, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The TG-630 iHS because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Olympus TG-630 iHS will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer TG-630 iHS will have an advantage in sensor tech.
