Usually, its difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing a spec sheet. The pic below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB1100F and DP1s.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The WB1100F with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Samsung WB1100F will provide you with extra detail using its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer WB1100F will have a benefit in sensor tech.
