Generally, it can be hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing specifications. The visual below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX1100 and S2000.

Plainly, the two cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX1100 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Samsung NX1100 will produce greater detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more modern NX1100 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
