As you can see, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB2200F because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Samsung WB2200F will show more detail utilizing its extra 11MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more modern WB2200F should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
