Quite often, it is tough to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by checking out technical specs. The image below will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the P100 and Galaxy Camera 4G.

As you can tell, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G to provide greater detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images more aggressively. The more aged P100 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
