Clearly, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Samsung SH100 to give greater detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-G1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
