Typically, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor measurements just by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-S12 and ST150F.

As you can see, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should count on the Samsung ST150F to deliver extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older EX-S12 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
