As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung WB350F to resolve more detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics far more aggressively. The older TG-320 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
