The S1000pj was introduced 5 years before the WB50F which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before going in to a complete comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the S1000pj matches up vs the WB50F in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix S1000pj and Samsung WB50F. The whole galleries are available at Nikon S1000pj Gallery and Samsung WB50F Gallery.

In many cases, its difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by reviewing specs. The pic underneath will help give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1000pj and WB50F.

All in all, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Samsung WB50F to offer greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged S1000pj is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
