As you can see, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Samsung WB30F to offer extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The more modern WB30F will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
