As you can tell, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Samsung DV300F to give you more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer DV300F will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
