Plainly, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung WB35F to render greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged SX240 HS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
