The D-Lux 6 with its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Samsung WB700 will offer you greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The fresher D-Lux 6 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
