All in all, the 2 cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-100 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung WB250F will give you more detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger EX-100 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
