Kodak Mini vs Samsung WB50F Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its difficult to see the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reading through a spec sheet. The pic below should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Mini and WB50F.

As you can see, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Mini with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Samsung WB50F will resolve more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged Mini is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
