As you can see, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The NX1100 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Sigma fp will offer greater detail having an extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older NX1100 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
