Normally, it's tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizes just by going over a spec sheet. The image here may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the WB150F and W560.

Clearly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements and the same MP therefore you should expect similar quality of files although you should really factor the release date of the products into consideration. The more modern WB150F should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
