All in all, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-ZR10 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Samsung NX210 will deliver greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
