As you can see, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The TG-630 iHS because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp L will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 49 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged TG-630 iHS will be behind in sensor innovation.
