As you have seen, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M320 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Nikon S3000 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M320 will be behind in sensor tech.
