All in all, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony A6100 to show more detail using its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older A350 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
