Plainly, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S2950 with its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Samsung NX5 will give you more detail with its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent S2950 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
