Quite often, it is hard to envision the difference in sensor sizing purely by researching specifications. The visual underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Touch and ST93.

Plainly, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Touch using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Samsung ST93 will result in more detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively.
