As you have seen, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The NX11 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Samsung NX11 will render extra detail having an extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent NX11 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
