In many cases, it is tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing only by going over a spec sheet. The visual here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the WB150F and DP2.

Clearly, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The WB150F having a tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Samsung WB150F will deliver more detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer WB150F will have a benefit in sensor tech.
