All in all, the two cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-FH100 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung NX300 will result in greater detail because of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The older EX-FH100 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
