As you have seen, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The TG-810 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Panasonic GX7 will give extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged TG-810 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
