Sometimes, it is tough to picture the difference in sensor dimensions just by checking out technical specs. The image below should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the FH22 and Galaxy NX.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FH22 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Samsung Galaxy NX will show greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FH22 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
