The TG-320 was introduced 20 months earlier than the QX100 making the cameras a generation apart from each other. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Olympus TG-320 being a Compact camera and the Sony QX100 being a Lens-style camera.

Before we go in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a concise synopsis of how the TG-320 grades versus the QX100 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus TG-320 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX100. The whole galleries are viewable at Olympus TG-320 Gallery and Sony QX100 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to lug around your camera often, you'll need to take into account its weight and dimensions.

Often, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor measurements merely by checking out specifications. The photograph below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-320 and QX100.

To sum up, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The TG-320 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony QX100 will provide greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The older TG-320 will be behind in sensor innovation.
