As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z33 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Samsung NX3000 will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-Z33 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
