Usually, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing only by viewing technical specs. The graphic here will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the V-Lux 2 and WB350F.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Samsung WB350F to provide you with more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The older V-Lux 2 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
