Generally, it is very hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading specs. The visual below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the WB35F and DP1.

All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB35F using its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Samsung WB35F will offer you more detail because of its extra 11MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger WB35F should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
