The L32 was manufactured 5 years later than the W350 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before getting straight to a full comparison, here is a simple view of how the L32 matches up against the W350 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Coolpix L32 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W350. The entire galleries are available at Nikon L32 Gallery and Sony W350 Gallery.

When you are intending to lug around your camera often, you should consider its weight and dimensions.

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.
