The TG-320 was released 7 years before the WG-6 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before delving into a complete comparison, here is a brief overview of how the TG-320 matches up against the WG-6 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus TG-320 and Ricoh WG-6. The complete galleries are provided at Olympus TG-320 Gallery and Ricoh WG-6 Gallery.

More often than not, it can be tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizing purely by looking at specifications. The photograph here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-320 and WG-6.

Plainly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different MP. You should expect to see the Ricoh WG-6 to give you extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The older TG-320 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
