Typically, it's hard to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing specifications. The image here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-S7 and PL120.

To sum up, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Samsung PL120 to provide you with extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-S7 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
