Generally, some of the advantages of the Sony DSC-W320 compared to super zoom competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/2.7 vs f/3.1), is much smaller (ultra compact 93x52x17 mm vs prosumer size 124x81x95 mm), slightly higher maximum light sensitivity (3,200 ISO vs 1,600 ISO), is thinner (0.7" vs 3.9") and is much lighter (117 g vs 540 g).
However, on average it has way more less zoom (4x vs 28x), records lower quality movies (480p vs 1080p @ 30fps), has a slightly narrower wide angle lens (26 mm vs 24 mm), has a significantly smaller screen (2.7" vs 3.0") and has a slightly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 460k dots).
