Plainly, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX600 HS having a smaller sensor will make getting bokeh more difficult and the Samsung NX300M will produce extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more modern SX600 HS is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
