Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The NX300M with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Samsung NX300M will provide you with more detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The newer NX300M provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
