Quite often, its tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing only by going through specifications. The visual here might give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the G6 and NX200.

To sum up, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The G6 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Samsung NX200 will show extra detail using its extra 4MP.
