More often than not, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizing purely by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-810 and DP1x.

As you can see, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TG-810 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Olympus TG-810 will result in more detail having an extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The newer TG-810 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
