Clearly, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The D-Lux 6 because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Samsung WB150F will provide greater detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs more aggressively. The more modern D-Lux 6 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
