Oftentimes, it is tough to see the gap in sensor measurements just by checking out technical specs. The visual underneath will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the WB1100F and DP2x.

As you have seen, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The WB1100F with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Samsung WB1100F will show greater detail with its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images more aggressively. The more recent WB1100F is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
