Quite often, its tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions purely by researching specifications. The image here may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB30F and SD10.

Plainly, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The WB30F due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung WB30F will result in extra detail utilizing its extra 13MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more recent WB30F should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
