As you can tell, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The NX300 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX300 will provide more detail because of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged NX300 will be behind in sensor innovation.
