Quite often, it can be hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements just by reviewing a spec sheet. The graphic here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX2F and NX1.

Clearly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX2F because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Samsung NX1 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 16MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The older EX2F is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
