More often than not, its difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 450D and NX1000.

Clearly, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You should expect to see the Samsung NX1000 to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged 450D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
