The Touch due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon L32 will provide you with more detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Touch will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
