To sum up, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The FE-25 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung NX1000 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
