Normally, its hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes merely by going through a spec sheet. The picture below will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the WB150F and SD9.

Clearly, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The WB150F because of its smaller sensor will make getting bokeh more challenging and the Samsung WB150F will produce greater detail having its extra 11MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The newer WB150F will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
