The WB800F was introduced 4 years prior to the M1 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Samsung WB800F being a Compact camera and the YI M1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go in to a in depth comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the WB800F scores vs the M1 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Quite often, it's tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing merely by reviewing technical specs. The graphic here may give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the WB800F and M1.

As you have seen, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The WB800F using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the YI M1 will deliver greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older WB800F is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
