To sum up, each of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The DV300F because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Samsung DV300F will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images much more aggressively. The newer DV300F should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
