The G1 was introduced 5 years before the NX1100 and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic G1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX1100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go in to a in-depth comparison, below is a simple summation of how the G1 grades vs the NX1100 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Oftentimes, it can be hard to visualize the difference in sensor measurements simply by going through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the G1 and NX1100.

As you can see, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G1 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Samsung NX1100 will produce more detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older G1 will be behind in sensor technology.
