As you can tell, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The WB2200F due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh tougher and the Samsung WB2200F will render greater detail as a result of its extra 11MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The newer WB2200F provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
