More often than not, it is difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing purely by going over technical specs. The visual here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the ELPH 360 HS and EX-Z29.

As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The ELPH 360 HS having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon ELPH 360 HS will deliver more detail using its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more recent ELPH 360 HS is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
