To sum up, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The WB750 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Samsung WB750 will resolve more detail because of its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged WB750 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
