As you have seen, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The W370 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony A35 will resolve extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The older W370 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
