Canon ELPH 350 HS has a
20.0MP 1/2.3 (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 4+ processor. On the other hand, Canon SD3500 IS has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Digic 4 processor.
Canon ELPH 350 HS's sensor provides 6MP more than Canon SD3500 IS's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the 350 HS and SD3500 IS sensor size comparison.
Canon ELPH 350 HS and Canon SD3500 IS have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Canon SD3500 IS has 44% larger pixel area (2.01µm2 vs 1.39µm2) compared to Canon ELPH 350 HS, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
