Clearly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The WB250F having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Samsung WB250F will give you more detail because of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more recent WB250F should have an edge in sensor tech.
