Usually, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions just by checking a spec sheet. The picture here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the SZ-11 and WB800F.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung WB800F to resolve extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged SZ-11 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
