As you can plainly see, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Panasonic TS10 to offer you extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer TG-5 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
