Plainly, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S200EXR because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Samsung NX300M will produce more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The older S200EXR will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
