All in all, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The HZ50W featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh simpler and the Samsung HZ50W will give you more detail as a result of its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The fresher HZ50W should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
