Sometimes, its tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizing just by reviewing technical specs. The graphic below might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A810 and WX350.
As you can tell, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Sony WX350 to offer greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older A810 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
