To sum up, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The WB30F featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Samsung WB30F will resolve more detail due to its extra 11MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The fresher WB30F provides an advantage in sensor technology.
