As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Olympus TG-320 to give you greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer TG-320 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
