Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The NX1 due to its bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh easier and the Samsung NX1 will render more detail due to its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The newer NX1 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
