Sometimes, it's difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading specifications. The visual below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-6 and EX2F.
Plainly, both of these cameras feature the identical megapixel count but different sensor sizing. The TG-6 uses the tinier sensor which is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging. The younger TG-6 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
