Usually, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements merely by checking technical specs. The visual here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the X70 and NX200.

As you have seen, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The X70 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Samsung NX200 will give you more detail having its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The older X70 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
