Sometimes, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by viewing specifications. The image underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the C140 and WB30F.

To sum up, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The C140 using its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Samsung WB30F will provide you with extra detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged C140 will be behind in sensor tech.
