Quite often, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizing purely by looking at specifications. The graphic here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the HZ25W and SD14.

To sum up, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The HZ25W because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Samsung HZ25W will give greater detail due to its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The fresher HZ25W should have a benefit in sensor tech.
