The CX1 was introduced 4 years earlier than the NX200 and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras have different body design with the Ricoh CX1 being a Compact camera and the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going into a in-depth comparison, here is a simple overview of how the CX1 scores versus the NX200 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Ricoh CX1 and Samsung NX200. The whole galleries are viewable at Ricoh CX1 Gallery and Samsung NX200 Gallery.

Generally, it is very hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The visual below should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the CX1 and NX200.

Plainly, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The CX1 having a tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX200 will resolve more detail using its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older CX1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
