Usually, it is tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing merely by checking specs. The graphic here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB2200F and A450.

All in all, each of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The WB2200F using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Samsung WB2200F will give more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The younger WB2200F should have an edge in sensor innovation.
