The W60 was revealed 4 years before the ST150F and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go through a detailed comparison, below is a brief view of how the W60 matches up against the ST150F in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Generally, it is difficult to see the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading through specs. The visual below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the W60 and ST150F.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Samsung ST150F to resolve greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older W60 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
