Sometimes, it's difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions purely by going through a spec sheet. The pic underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-320 and TS30.
As you can see, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Panasonic TS30 to provide extra detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged TG-320 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
