In many cases, it is very difficult to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by checking out a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX720 HS and NX mini.

As you can see, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX720 HS with its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh trickier and the Samsung NX mini will produce greater detail with its extra 0.2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer SX720 HS provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
