The ST65 was released 7 years before the HX350 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung ST65 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony HX350 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a simple overview of how the ST65 grades vs the HX350 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Samsung ST65 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX350. The complete galleries are viewable at Samsung ST65 Gallery and Sony HX350 Gallery.

If you are planning to travel with your camera often, you'll have to factor in its weight and measurements.

Quite often, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by looking at a spec sheet. The image underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the ST65 and HX350.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Sony HX350 to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged ST65 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
