Normally, its hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements only by looking through a spec sheet. The visual here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SL202 and WX350.

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.
