As you can see, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The TG-810 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Panasonic G7 will give you greater detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The older TG-810 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
