Typically, its hard to see the difference in sensor dimensions purely by looking through technical specs. The picture here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the V-Lux 20 and ST150F.

As you have seen, both cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Samsung ST150F to render extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 20 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
