We already listed pros and cons of each model. However, you may also find useful to look at their common strengths and weaknesses shown side-by-side.

Screen

Casio Exilim EX-100 has a 3.50" Tilting screen with 922k dot resolution and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX350 has a 3.0" Fixed screen with 460k dot resolution. Tilting screen makes Casio Exilim EX-100 very useful for photography purposes but not so useful for video shooting.

Casio Exilim EX-100 features a 12 megapixel 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensor with dimensions of 7.44 x 5.58 mm and a total area of 41.5 mm². Its native ISO range is 80 - 12,800 and expands to 80 - 25,600 in boosted mode. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX350 features a 18.2 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 20.7 mm². Its native ISO range is 80 - 12,800.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX350 has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Casio Exilim EX-100 can take pictures up to 4000 x 3000 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolution like 4000 x 2656, 4000 x 2240, 3264 x 2248, 2048 x 1536 with 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 aspect ratios. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX350 can take pictures up to 4896 x 3672 resolution.
