As you have seen, the two cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-10 featuring a smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Samsung NX20 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The fresher EX-10 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
