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.
