Sometimes, it's tough to picture the gap in sensor dimensions only by going through a spec sheet. The pic here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the NX200 and RX1R II.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The NX200 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh harder and the Sony RX1R II will provide more detail because of its extra 22 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged NX200 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
