Oftentimes, its difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes merely by looking through specifications. The image underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX510 HS and WX350.
To sum up, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Sony WX350 to render more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images more aggressively.
