More often than not, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking a spec sheet. The image here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the D100 and WB2200F.

As you can see, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The D100 with its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Samsung WB2200F will give you more detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged D100 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
