To sum up, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The P7800 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Samsung WB250F will give more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The younger P7800 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
