Generally, it's difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing purely by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic here will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S2500HD and ST150F.

As you can see, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should expect to see the Samsung ST150F to provide greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older S2500HD will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
