To sum up, each of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The CX4 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Samsung NX210 will provide you with more detail having an extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged CX4 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
