In many cases, it's tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizes simply by viewing specs. The pic below might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 350D and A200.

All in all, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Sony A200 to render more detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged 350D will be behind in sensor tech.
