Usually, it's tough to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements simply by looking at technical specs. The graphic here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S7 and WB30F.

As you have seen, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You should count on the Samsung WB30F to give you more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older EX-S7 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
