Normally, it can be difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizing purely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the P340 and WB750.

As you can see, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The P340 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Samsung WB750 will give greater detail because of its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The fresher P340 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
