As you have seen, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GX-20 featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Samsung WB2200F will give you more detail having its extra 1MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older GX-20 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
