The L26 was manufactured 7 months later than the VR-320 which means that they are both of a similar generation. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before diving right into a complete comparison, here is a short summation of how the L26 grades against the VR-320 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix L26 and Olympus VR-320. The entire galleries are available at Nikon L26 Gallery and Olympus VR-320 Gallery.

Quite often, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizing only by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the L26 and VR-320.

Clearly, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon L26 to render greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The younger L26 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
