Generally, it is difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes just by checking out technical specs. The picture underneath will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-5 and W370.
As you have seen, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Sony W370 to produce more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images more aggressively. The fresher TG-5 will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
