Oftentimes, its hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes only by reading through a spec sheet. The pic underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX2F and ST80.

As you can see, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX2F having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung ST80 will resolve extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots more aggressively. The more modern EX2F will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
