As you can see, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S1600 due to its smaller sensor will make getting bokeh harder and the Samsung NX11 will result in more detail due to its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged S1600 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
