Typically, it can be tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes only by researching technical specs. The pic here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-810 and WX220.
As you have seen, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should expect the Sony WX220 to render extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged TG-810 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
