Normally, it is very hard to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements simply by going through a spec sheet. The visual underneath may provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX200 IS and NX1100.

Clearly, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX200 IS having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Samsung NX1100 will produce extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older SX200 IS will be behind in sensor innovation.
