Clearly, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The LX100 II because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Samsung NX2000 will give extra detail as a result of its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger LX100 II will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
