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.
