As you can see, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z400 with its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Samsung NX1100 will resolve greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z400 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
