As you can plainly see, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The ELPH 350 HS having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Canon ELPH 350 HS will offer you more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The fresher ELPH 350 HS should have an edge in sensor tech.
