Plainly, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 1 having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus TG-320 will show extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger 1 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
