To sum up, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Samsung WB350F to deliver extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged ELPH 330 HS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
