The P340 with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Samsung ST150F will offer you greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The more modern P340 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
