The WB350F was brought out 3 years earlier than the HX350 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Samsung WB350F being a Compact camera and the Sony HX350 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a concise synopsis of how the WB350F grades against the HX350 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

More often than not, its hard to see the gap in sensor sizing purely by checking out technical specs. The photograph below might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the WB350F and HX350.

As you can tell, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony HX350 to produce greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The older WB350F will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
