Normally, it can be difficult to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The picture here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX710 HS and NX mini.

As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX710 HS using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Samsung NX mini will resolve extra detail having an extra 0.5MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent SX710 HS provides an edge in sensor tech.
