As you can tell, the 2 cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The TG-5 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic S1R will render greater detail using its extra 35MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older TG-5 will be behind in sensor tech.
