Often, it is very tough to picture the difference in sensor dimensions simply by viewing a spec sheet. The picture underneath may offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the S2800HD and a3500.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S2800HD using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony a3500 will result in greater detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S2800HD will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
