Sometimes, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes only by researching specs. The image here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-820 iHS and NX2000.

All in all, each of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The TG-820 iHS featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Samsung NX2000 will render more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged TG-820 iHS will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
