To sum up, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The CL5 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung ST65 will provide extra detail with its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged CL5 will be behind in sensor technology.
