Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you are utilising at the time. Here is a front view physical size comparison of the TG-320 and the ZS80.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the TG-320 and ZS80 is 94 and 86 respectively.

Normally, it is very hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions only by researching specifications. The picture here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-320 and ZS80.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Panasonic ZS80 to result in greater detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged TG-320 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
