In many cases, it can be tough to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by seeing technical specs. The pic underneath will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the G100 and NX3000.

As you can tell, both cameras come with the identical MP albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The G100 includes the smaller sensor which is going to make getting bokeh more difficult. The fresher G100 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
