Plainly, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The DV300F using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung DV300F will offer extra detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern DV300F should have a benefit in sensor technology.
