I will be shooting mainly raw, if I shoot in the pentax compressed raw format, will I loose any quality (after decompression) over a standard RAW file?
No quality difference between PEF and DNG. Raw is raw. But PEF is compressed and takes less space and thus faster to write on the card.
There are also minor differences like the 21fps mode which is not available on the Samsung and some informations in Liveview not available on the Pentax.
Also the buttons and menus are different and you may like one better than the other. The battery grip are not compatible, make sure you have access to the Samsung one if you plan getting one.
But the most important: you cannot participate in the
PPG if you have a Samsung
