All in all, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z400 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Samsung NX11 will resolve greater detail having its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-Z400 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
