Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The HZ35W due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony QX100 will give more detail due to its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged HZ35W is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
