Oftentimes, it can be difficult to see the gap in sensor sizing only by going through specifications. The graphic underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FZ200 and WB2200F.

Plainly, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Samsung WB2200F to show more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images way more aggressively. The older FZ200 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
