Plainly, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Samsung WB850F to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older 7010 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
