As you can tell, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The TG-6 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Sigma fp L will resolve greater detail utilizing its extra 49MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots more aggressively. The older TG-6 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
