Plainly, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The FS15 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Samsung NX210 will resolve more detail having an extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The older FS15 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
