As you can plainly see, both the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M320 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony TX20 will offer you extra detail using its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged M320 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
