The S90 was introduced 4 years prior to the WB35F and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before getting right into a full comparison, here is a short overview of how the S90 grades vs the WB35F for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot S90 and Samsung WB35F. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon S90 Gallery and Samsung WB35F Gallery.

Sometimes, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading technical specs. The visual here will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the S90 and WB35F.

As you can tell, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S90 using its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh easier and the Samsung WB35F will deliver greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older S90 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
