As you can see, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-G1 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX210 will give you extra detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-G1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
