To sum up, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The WG-70 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Samsung NX300 will offer you more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent WG-70 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
