Usually, it's difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements purely by going through specifications. The graphic underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the G10 and NX300.

Plainly, the two cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The G10 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Samsung NX300 will show more detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images much more aggressively. The older G10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
