Clearly, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The P340 because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Olympus SP-800 UZ will produce extra detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more recent P340 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
