Clearly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Samsung WB350F to give you greater detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged CX3 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
