More often than not, it's tough to see the contrast in sensor sizing only by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph below should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-810 and A6300.

Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The TG-810 due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Sony A6300 will result in extra detail due to its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older TG-810 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
