Samsung SL620 vs Samsung WB150F Sensor Comparison

Generally, it can be difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing only by looking at a spec sheet. The visual here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SL620 and WB150F.

Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should anticipate the Samsung WB150F to resolve greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The older SL620 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
