Clearly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-FS10 using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Samsung NX mini will show greater detail because of its extra 11.5MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The older EX-FS10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
