As you can tell, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Samsung DV300F to produce greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged L20 will be behind in sensor tech.
