To sum up, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Sony W350 to give greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older W350 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
