As you can see, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S2500HD featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Samsung NX2000 will give more detail due to its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged S2500HD is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
