Usually, it's difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizes just by reviewing technical specs. The pic here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the L19 and DV300F.

As you can tell, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The L19 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh harder and the Samsung DV300F will offer more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged L19 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
