Clearly, each of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX270 HS using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh trickier and the Samsung NX2000 will render greater detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX270 HS will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
