Quite often, it is difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions just by looking at a spec sheet. The image underneath will provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the NX1000 and ST95.

As you can see, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The NX1000 having a larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Samsung NX1000 will resolve greater detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The newer NX1000 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
