All in all, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Samsung WB50F to offer greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SZ-11 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
