All in all, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony W370 to offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The fresher TG-6 will have an edge in sensor innovation.
