As you can tell, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The WB150F having a tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Samsung WB150F will give you greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged WB150F is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
