As you have seen, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SL202 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Samsung SL202 will produce greater detail using its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots far more aggressively. The older SL202 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
