The M320 was manufactured 13 months before the TX5 making them a generation apart from one another. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before getting right into a detailed comparison, here is a short summation of how the M320 scores vs the TX5 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Normally, it can be difficult to see the difference between sensor sizing just by checking technical specs. The graphic underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M320 and TX5.

As you have seen, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M320 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF harder and the Sony TX5 will resolve greater detail due to its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older M320 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
