Usually, it is very difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements purely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the P7800 and TG-320.

Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The P7800 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus TG-320 will resolve greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent P7800 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
