Quite often, it can be tough to imagine the gap in sensor measurements just by checking out specifications. The graphic here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the A3500 IS and FH22.
Plainly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You should count on the Canon A3500 IS to provide extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The newer A3500 IS provides an edge in sensor technology.
