All in all, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Samsung PL170 to give more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm Z110 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
