To sum up, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung PL210 to produce extra detail using its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older EX-S5 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
