Plainly, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-H10 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Samsung Galaxy NX will render more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-H10 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
