Often, it's hard to envision the contrast in sensor measurements purely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX270 HS and WB2200F.

As you can see, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Samsung WB2200F to provide more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older SX270 HS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
