To sum up, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony WX350 to show greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The fresher P900 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
