More often than not, it is difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions only by checking out a spec sheet. The picture underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the AV250 and S3500.
Clearly, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon S3500 to produce extra detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged AV250 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
