Sometimes, it's hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizing merely by reviewing specifications. The photograph underneath might offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-810 and G100.

To sum up, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The TG-810 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Panasonic G100 will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics more aggressively. The older TG-810 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
