As you can tell, each of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The WB150F using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Samsung WB150F will give extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger WB150F provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
