Quite often, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements purely by going through specs. The graphic here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the L32 and W350.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Nikon L32 to show greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The newer L32 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
