Plainly, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The D3500 having a bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Nikon D3500 will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger D3500 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
