Often, it is hard to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions only by looking through specs. The image here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-FH25 and NX3000.
All in all, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-FH25 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX3000 will result in greater detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos more aggressively. The more aged EX-FH25 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
