Clearly, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should count on the Sony WX350 to result in more detail because of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older SL202 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
