As you can plainly see, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Samsung WB35F to give you greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SZ7 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
