Usually, it is very hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements only by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the NX11 and HX300.

As you can see, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX11 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Sony HX300 will deliver extra detail using its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older NX11 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
