Normally, its hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing purely by reading through a spec sheet. The visual here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX11 and WB700.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The NX11 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Samsung NX11 will give you extra detail using its extra 1MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively.
