Normally, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the SH100 and WB350F.

Clearly, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Samsung WB350F to offer you greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged SH100 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
