Quite often, it is tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements only by checking out specifications. The photograph here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB750 and A350.

Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB750 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony A350 will provide more detail using its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The fresher WB750 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
