To sum up, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The WB2200F because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Samsung WB2200F will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 13MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The fresher WB2200F should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
