Clearly, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The FH22 having a tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung NX1 will offer you extra detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older FH22 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
