The SX240 HS was introduced 2 years later than the W350 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX240 HS being a Compact camera and the Sony W350 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before going straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the SX240 HS matches up versus the W350 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX240 HS and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W350. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon SX240 HS Gallery and Sony W350 Gallery.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have attached at that moment. Below is the front view overall size comparison of the SX240 HS against the W350.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX240 HS and W350 is 91 and 97 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to see the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reviewing specifications. The photograph here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX240 HS and W350.

To sum up, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony W350 to offer you more detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics much more aggressively. The newer SX240 HS will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
