As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The NX100 due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung ST6500 will provide more detail having its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively.
