As you have seen, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should anticipate the Samsung WB35F to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged FE-45 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
