Quite often, it is very tough to see the contrast between sensor sizing just by reading technical specs. The visual here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S5 and NX200.

As you can tell, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-S5 using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Samsung NX200 will offer you greater detail with its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-S5 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
