As you can see, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-100 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Samsung NX100 will result in more detail having an extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The younger EX-100 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
