Clearly, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S30 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Olympus TG-320 will give you more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images way more aggressively.
