More often than not, it's difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizes only by looking through technical specs. The pic here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the NX200 and W330.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The NX200 having a larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Samsung NX200 will result in greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger NX200 will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
