In many cases, its tough to see the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the M340 and ST6500.

As you can see, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Samsung ST6500 to give you extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older M340 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
