As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G700SE due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Samsung NX210 will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older G700SE is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
