The EX-Z35 was brought out 5 years before the S3700 and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before delving straight into a in depth comparison, below is a short view of how the EX-Z35 matches up versus the S3700 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Often, it is tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing just by looking at specs. The photograph here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z35 and S3700.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Nikon S3700 to give greater detail having its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older EX-Z35 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
