Usually, it is very tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizes purely by viewing specs. The picture below may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 350D and 600D.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can count on the Canon 600D to render greater detail with its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged 350D will be behind in sensor innovation.
