Oftentimes, it is hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions simply by going over a spec sheet. The picture below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR1000 and NX2000.

As you can see, both of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-ZR1000 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Samsung NX2000 will offer you more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR1000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
