Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony W530 is significantly lighter (105g ) than the Samsung WB800F which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W530 nor Samsung WB800F provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung WB800F's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony W530's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
