More often than not, it can be tough to visualize the gap between sensor measurements just by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC and NX30.
As you can see, the two cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Samsung NX30 will deliver more detail because of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The older GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
