Normally, it's tough to envision the difference in sensor sizing merely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 and NX1.

Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
