Often, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading technical specs. The graphic here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the ST100 and WB1100F.

As you have seen, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can expect to see the Samsung WB1100F to offer greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older ST100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
