Typically, it is very hard to picture the difference between sensor measurements simply by looking at technical specs. The graphic below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S3 Pro and WB800F.

As you have seen, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S3 Pro having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Samsung WB800F will give you more detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S3 Pro is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
