Quite often, it is tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing only by checking out technical specs. The graphic below might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the FH20 and NX210.

As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The FH20 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Samsung NX210 will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images far more aggressively. The older FH20 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
