As you can plainly see, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 6020 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Samsung NX1000 will offer greater detail due to its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged 6020 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
