Quite often, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions just by going through specifications. The pic here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the TRYX and NX300.

To sum up, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The TRYX using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX300 will provide extra detail having an extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged TRYX will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
