All in all, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Samsung NX30 to give you greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The fresher NX30 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
