As you have seen, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The TG-320 due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Samsung NX1100 will provide extra detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older TG-320 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
