Generally, its hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements just by going over technical specs. The photograph here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the WB50F and TX1.

As you have seen, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB50F featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung WB50F will deliver greater detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more modern WB50F is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
