To sum up, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The NX1 due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung NX1 will offer you greater detail having its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more recent NX1 will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
