Plainly, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The TG-320 using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Olympus TG-320 will result in greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent TG-320 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
