Sony WX30 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor dimensions just by seeing specifications. The picture here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the WX30 and WX350.
Plainly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Sony WX350 to provide more detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged WX30 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
