As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Panasonic FH25 to resolve greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The younger TG-320 will have an edge in sensor technology.
