Oftentimes, its difficult to see the gap between sensor measurements just by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX130 IS and WB150F.

As you can see, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Samsung WB150F to deliver extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older SX130 IS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
