Often, it is very hard to visualize the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading technical specs. The visual below should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the S1R and NX2000.

As you can tell, the two cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S1R due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Panasonic S1R will offer more detail due to its extra 27 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The younger S1R provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
