Clearly, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-ZR300 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Samsung NX2000 will render greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR300 will be behind in sensor tech.
