All in all, both cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The TG-830 iHS because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Olympus TG-830 iHS will give more detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more modern TG-830 iHS should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
