Often, its tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes simply by looking through specs. The picture underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-810 and HX200V.
All in all, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Sony HX200V to result in greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged TG-810 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
