Quite often, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements only by going over a spec sheet. The visual here may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the CL5 and WB30F.

Clearly, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The CL5 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung WB30F will offer more detail having its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older CL5 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
