Plainly, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The WB50F having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Samsung WB50F will deliver extra detail using its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The younger WB50F provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
