As you can see, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-FC150 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX2000 will give greater detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-FC150 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
