Clearly, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A3500 IS using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Canon A3500 IS will resolve extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older A3500 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
