Typically, it is very hard to see the contrast in sensor sizes only by going through specs. The image below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the HZ10W and WB50F.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Samsung WB50F to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged HZ10W will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
