As you can tell, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The GR Digital III due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung DV150F will offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older GR Digital III is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
