Sometimes, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor dimensions purely by checking out technical specs. The pic here will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the CX6 and ST150F.

As you have seen, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung ST150F to show extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged CX6 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
