Typically, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through specifications. The graphic underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-45 and Galaxy Camera 4G.

To sum up, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G to give you greater detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older FE-45 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
