Plainly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NX100 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Samsung NX100 will result in greater detail utilizing its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more modern NX100 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
