As you can plainly see, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The TG-830 iHS featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic FZ1000 II will provide you with extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older TG-830 iHS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
