As you can tell, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M320 due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Panasonic G9 will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older M320 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
