Sometimes, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing only by seeing specifications. The photograph below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the HZ50W and ST93.

To sum up, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Samsung ST93 to provide greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older HZ50W will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
