Plainly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Sony H70 to offer you more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern TG-810 is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
