The GX-1L was introduced 4 years prior to the SL30 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras have different body design with the Samsung GX-1L being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Samsung SL30 being a Compact camera.

Before going straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a quick summary of how the GX-1L grades vs the SL30 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Sometimes, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor dimensions purely by looking through specs. The image underneath may offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the GX-1L and SL30.

All in all, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The GX-1L using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Samsung SL30 will render more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged GX-1L will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
