All in all, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The TG-320 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic GH5 will resolve extra detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged TG-320 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
