Clearly, each of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-100 due to its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Samsung ST700 will produce more detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The fresher EX-100 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
