Usually, it is difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reviewing specifications. The image below will help offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the GM5 and NX2000.

To sum up, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The GM5 using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX2000 will offer extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more modern GM5 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
