Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Samsung NX300 to provide you with extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The fresher M10 provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
