Clearly, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Samsung ST150F to show more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged S630 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
