As you have seen, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The FE-3010 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Samsung NX mini will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 8.5 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older FE-3010 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
