Sometimes, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The visual below will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the V-Lux 40 and WB1100F.

Clearly, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung WB1100F to result in more detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The older V-Lux 40 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
