As you have seen, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The WB50F featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung WB50F will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more recent WB50F should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
