Quite often, its hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The visual below may provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the GX850 and NX3000.

To sum up, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GX850 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh trickier and the Samsung NX3000 will give extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer GX850 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
