The HS20 EXR was unveiled 4 years earlier than the WB2200F and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting straight to a detailed comparison, here is a brief summation of how the HS20 EXR grades vs the WB2200F when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for FujiFilm FinePix HS20 EXR and Samsung WB2200F. The full galleries are viewable at FujiFilm HS20 EXR Gallery and Samsung WB2200F Gallery.

If you are going to carry your camera frequently, you should factor its weight and dimensions. The FujiFilm HS20 EXR provides outside measurements of 131mm x 91mm x 126mm (5.2" x 3.6" x 5.0") with a weight of 730 grams (1.61 lbs) whilst the Samsung WB2200F has dimensions of 119mm x 122mm x 99mm (4.7" x 4.8" x 3.9") and a weight of 708 grams (1.56 lbs).

Typically, its tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing simply by reading a spec sheet. The visual underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the HS20 EXR and WB2200F.

Clearly, both of these cameras have the same megapixel count but different sensor sizing. The HS20 EXR comes with the larger sensor which will make obtaining shallow DOF simpler. The older HS20 EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
