Quite often, its tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizes simply by viewing technical specs. The pic here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX60 HS and NX2000.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX60 HS using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Samsung NX2000 will result in greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The newer SX60 HS should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
