Sometimes, it's tough to picture the difference in sensor sizes merely by viewing specifications. The image below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-4 and WX350.
Plainly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should expect to see the Sony WX350 to render more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer TG-4 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
