To sum up, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Samsung WB2200F to resolve greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older HZ15W is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
