Oftentimes, its hard to see the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking specs. The pic below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-S5 and CL80.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Samsung CL80 to give you extra detail because of its extra 5MP.
