Often, it is hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading through a spec sheet. The image below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the EX2F and DP1s.

As you can see, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX2F due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung EX2F will give more detail having its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The fresher EX2F should have a benefit in sensor tech.
