To sum up, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The WB1100F featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Samsung WB1100F will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The more modern WB1100F should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
