Clearly, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The NX200 with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Samsung NX200 will show greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged NX200 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
