Often, it can be tough to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading technical specs. The image underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-830 iHS and S1H.

As you can tell, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The TG-830 iHS because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic S1H will deliver greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged TG-830 iHS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
