As you can plainly see, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The NX100 due to its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Samsung WB800F will offer you greater detail having its extra 1MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older NX100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
