As you can see, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Samsung PL210 to produce extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older S4000 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
