More often than not, it's difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements just by reading technical specs. The photograph below may offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-H15 and WB30F.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should count on the Samsung WB30F to deliver extra detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older EX-H15 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
