Often, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes merely by seeing specs. The image here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX2F and NX100.

All in all, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX2F having a smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Samsung NX100 will produce extra detail with its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images more aggressively. The more modern EX2F is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
