Usually, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions simply by looking at technical specs. The image here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M341 and NX500.

As you have seen, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M341 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Samsung NX500 will give you greater detail using its extra 16MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images far more aggressively. The more aged M341 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
