As you can tell, each of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The NX210 due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Samsung NX210 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The fresher NX210 should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
