Sometimes, it is very hard to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reading a spec sheet. The pic below might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S1 and NX1.
Clearly, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S1 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung NX1 will offer extra detail with its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
