Generally, it can be tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The picture below will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the V-Lux 3 and WB35F.

As you can see, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Samsung WB35F to give you more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 3 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
