More often than not, it can be tough to see the contrast between sensor sizing just by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph below will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the SX540 HS and NX200.

As you can see, both the cameras offer the same exact megapixel count albeit not the same sensor sizing. The SX540 HS contains the tinier sensor which is going to make obtaining shallower depth of field harder. The more recent SX540 HS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
