As you can tell, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The TG-320 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony A7R III will resolve extra detail having its extra 28 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged TG-320 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
