Clearly, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z270 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Samsung NX500 will offer more detail due to its extra 18MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
