Typically, it's hard to visualize the difference between sensor sizes just by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-320 and WX300.

Clearly, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should expect to see the Sony WX300 to offer you extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged TG-320 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
