Often, it's hard to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by looking at specs. The pic below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC and DV300F.
All in all, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung DV300F will resolve more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels.
