Canon ELPH 360 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, Samsung HZ25W has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Canon ELPH 360 HS's sensor provides 8MP more than Samsung HZ25W'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 360 HS and HZ25W sensor size comparison.
Canon ELPH 360 HS and Samsung HZ25W have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
