As you can see, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The NX10 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Samsung NX10 will render greater detail having an extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged NX10 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
