All in all, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 6000 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Samsung NX200 will provide you with greater detail with its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 6000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
