As you can tell, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Samsung WB50F to give you more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged L22 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
