Normally, its difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizing just by going over a spec sheet. The graphic here will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the NX100 and NX200.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Samsung NX200 to deliver extra detail because of its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The older NX100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
