More often than not, it is tough to envision the contrast in sensor measurements purely by looking through specifications. The visual below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the L21 and WB700.

To sum up, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Samsung WB700 to render more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The older L21 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
