In many cases, it can be tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizing simply by researching technical specs. The photograph below will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-810 and NX1000.

As you can tell, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TG-810 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung NX1000 will render more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older TG-810 will be behind in sensor innovation.
