The sensor resolution of WG-3 GPS is greater than that of TG-320. However, the difference of 2 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.

At Pentax WG-3 GPS, the maximum ISO is greater by 4800. Both cameras have Sensor-shift image stabilization. Pentax WG-3 GPS has a larger 3-inch Fixed screen, the other camera has a 2-inch Fixed screen.
