Typically, it's hard to imagine the gap in sensor sizes merely by looking through specs. The pic here will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the P100 and WB800F.

All in all, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should anticipate the Samsung WB800F to render more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged P100 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
