Below you can see the TG-850 iHS and HX30V sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Olympus TG-850 iHS and Sony HX30V Cameras
Olympus TG-850 iHS and Sony HX30V have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Olympus TG-850 iHS
or the
Sony HX30V ,
including hyperfocal distance.
