More often than not, its difficult to picture the difference in sensor dimensions only by researching a spec sheet. The pic below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 600D and NX30.

As you can see, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Samsung NX30 to result in more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged 600D will be behind in sensor innovation.
