In many cases, it is tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizes simply by looking at specs. The image underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX10 and ZX1.

All in all, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The NX10 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Zeiss ZX1 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 22MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged NX10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
