All in all, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The G3 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Samsung NX30 will render extra detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged G3 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
