Sometimes, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor dimensions merely by going over specifications. The pic below will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E2S and NX300.

Plainly, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Samsung NX300 to offer extra detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-E2S is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
