Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the ELPH 100 HS and ELPH 350 HS is 96 and 95 respectively.

Typically, it can be tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements just by going through specs. The photograph here should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the ELPH 100 HS and ELPH 350 HS.

All in all, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Canon ELPH 350 HS to show more detail because of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older ELPH 100 HS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
