As you can see, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Nikon D3300 to deliver greater detail because of its extra 16MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The older 350D is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
