Quite often, it's difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizes purely by reviewing specifications. The picture here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX260 HS and WB2200F.

Plainly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Samsung WB2200F to offer you greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX260 HS is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
