Normally, it's difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions just by going over technical specs. The pic underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SP-600 UZ and WB800F.

As you can tell, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Samsung WB800F to offer you greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SP-600 UZ is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
