Generally, it is very hard to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions purely by viewing a spec sheet. The picture underneath may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the EX2F and NX2000.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX2F featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Samsung NX2000 will render greater detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX2F will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
