The M320 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Nikon S80 will produce extra detail with its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older M320 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
