Usually, it is hard to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements merely by seeing specifications. The graphic below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the WB35F and A350.

To sum up, the two cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The WB35F using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Samsung WB35F will provide extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The fresher WB35F should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
