Normally, it's hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading a spec sheet. The pic here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the ST100 and WB350F.

Clearly, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You should expect the Samsung WB350F to offer extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged ST100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
