All in all, each of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The M320 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic FP2 will show greater detail because of its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older M320 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
