More often than not, it is difficult to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading specifications. The image here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the DV300F and TX1.

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.
