Generally, its tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by looking through specifications. The image here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the P300 and WB35F.

Plainly, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Samsung WB35F to provide you with more detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged P300 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
