Normally, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading through specifications. The image here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SP-800 UZ and WB2200F.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Samsung WB2200F to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged SP-800 UZ is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
