Sometimes, it can be difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading through technical specs. The photograph below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 3D1 and NX210.

As you can tell, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 3D1 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX210 will give more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older 3D1 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
