Often, its tough to see the gap between sensor sizing purely by looking at specifications. The visual here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the WB800F and A560.

Plainly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The WB800F having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung WB800F will resolve greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The newer WB800F is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
