Generally, it is tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes only by going over technical specs. The image here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the NX11 and H300.

As you can tell, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NX11 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Sony H300 will offer you greater detail having an extra 5MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images far more aggressively. The more aged NX11 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
