In many cases, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the FH3 and NX1000.

Clearly, both the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The FH3 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Samsung NX1000 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged FH3 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
